today we finally make Florida!!!

Today we plan the trip to Fernandina, Florida. After 2 1/2 weeks on the trip we finally make Florida. Short day. We take on fuel and water before we leave Lanier Island.

The route today took us through two ocean inlets. One of them took us very exposed to the ocean. Winds from the southeast created some mild wave action for the passage. We encountered more south bound traffic. Several boats have been “with” us for the last several days. The tides were with us for the  most part and we made decent time. Today is my youngest daughters birthday…..

Fernandina is a cute little town.We found the oldest bar in Florida. It has an active railway that runs through the town.
